Ron, and All,

The great thing is you did it, and you have the satisfaction of doing it. At 51 I sold my business, because I hated my customers, Oakland Ca. They were vicious, and cruel.

I traded the business for my dream in the Caribbean. First because I hated my station in life at that time, and second I was afraid I might wait to long, and lose my health. I sailed for 4 years, and didn't have an income except for one thing. I was overflowed with happiness. To many times I met people at the dock that wished they could have just done it, and didn't. You have to not only dream your dream, but you have to live it too. They didn't go because of fear. My fear was that I would never go, so I went while I was healthy.

I have got 2-4 years left here on land. In that time I will fulfill my desire for that open roadster with the V-8. If my health holds out I will then sail away once again, but this time around the world non-stop, and single-handed too. If I can squeeze that into my life. I can die with no regrets at all in my life. Money, and women have come, and gone, but the dream is alive now as it was when I was 12.
